My Linux/CL editor of choice. This is what I learned on and feel hamstrug when it isn't loaded on a box. Everyone should take the time to learn Vi/vim AND emac. You never know which one you are going to be stuck with when supporting a box.

I literally use vi/vim all day, every day and have for a full twenty years now. The single most important text editor to know for system administration. Ubiquitous to every non-Windows platform and widely available on Windows. Every IT pro should learn vi and be comfortable using it.

With Vim, all things *nix are possible. It's the one tool that every Linux admin worth their weight should be somewhat familiar with, even if it's just on a basic level. This single tool can literally be used to configure an entire *nix distro.

This is my go to editor on my linux boxes. I recommend you take the time to install and learn this great tool. It will help you out in so many ways, especially if you are a sysadmin and want to look at conf files in a nice color display!

Lo, these many years ago, vi was the only editor I used. I even installed Unix tools for Windows strictly to have vi as my text tool there.
Now, vim is the one. Still the same command structure and so much more. In fact, I am positive that there are features within that I have no idea exist. I must search them out at some point to behold the wonders they will present.
Nah - I will just continue to use the solid and reliable CLI driven (yet inhanced) editor that I have used for decades.
